I didn't really get into boys until my junior year of high school, when I had my first boyfriend. But for the most part I was always playing sports, so I was too busy for them!

Seeing women on television was very important to me. It opened my eyes to the possibilities of women's sports. It showed me what I could do and who I could be.

I'm living a dream. I hope in 10 years people will know me as a gold medalist.

Playing USA Softball has been more to me than I ever imagined possible.

Being fit and being in the best shape that I can be helps me be the best mom as well.

Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine!

I'm a role model for lots of young girls.
